    This is a compare between a M2 MacBook Air and 16.2" M1 MacBook Pro, its 10C degrees outside. I was really surprised since the 16" should be the same for sdr content, ie 500 nits and much brighter for HDR. I also tried with HDR content which looked darker on the 16" as well. Next to them is my...

    Edge YouTube Is Dimmer/Washed Out Than Safari

    The top is Safari, the bottom is Edge. I just happened upon this because Safari youtube 4k was lagging like crazy so decided to see if the same happened on edge and it didn't stutter once.
